UHPLC Turnkey Kit Facilitates Isohumulone Analysis in Beer Matrix

Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the Thermo Scientific™ Isohumulones in Beer Application Kit, a complete UHPLC-based solution to quantitate isohumulones, an important component of beer’s composition.

Isohumulones form approximately 80% of the typical bitternesss in beer and are crucial for good taste and aroma. They also affect the stability of the foam and have an antimicrobial effect.

Analyzing the exact pattern of the various isohumulones in the complex beer matrix presents a challenge that can be met effectively with this new kit.
